Eddie Judge is weighing in on Real Housewives of Orange County casting drama and surprisingly, he sounds ready to move on.
Tamra Judge’s husband reacted to news of Vicki Gunvalson’s return to RHOC during the Tuesday, January 6 episode of iHeartRadio’s “The Ed’s” podcast, where he reflected on grudges, forgiveness, and the reality TV world in general.
“What I learned, particularly from my interview with Joe Gorga about him and his sister [Teresa Giudice] talking again, I realized that we do live in the world where you just don’t need enemies,” Eddie said while discussing Vicki’s season 20 comeback. “What she did, she did on the show, and what she did to me really wasn’t that big a deal.”
Eddie’s comments come years after his issues with Vicki played out publicly. Back in 2017, Vicki hosted a gathering with Gretchen Rossi, Lizzie Rovsek, and Kelly Dodd where accusations surfaced that Eddie could be gay, claims he has repeatedly denied.
While Eddie brushed off what was said about him, he admitted that wasn’t the part that bothered him most.
“What I really was bothered with is how she treated you,” Eddie told his guest cohost and wife, Tamra. “And again, it’s a TV show. … But when you’re fighting, you’re fighting like sisters.”
Despite the messy history, Eddie made it clear he’d prefer to see the longtime RHOC frenemies find their way back to a lighter place.
If he had his way, Tamra and Vicki would be able to have fun together again, while he spends time with Vicki’s boyfriend.
“At the end of the day, it does help that I like Mike. Mike’s a cool cat. I really, really like Mike,” Eddie said, referring to Michael Smith. “At the end of the day, you got to forgive, forget and move on.”
Bravo has yet to officially announce the full cast for season 20 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, but Vicki Gunvalson’s return has already been confirmed, setting the stage for what could be another complicated chapter in Orange County history.
